The collection of black and white photos are magnificent. Uniforms, equipment, armament, everything and with very good quality despite being very old. A curious and interesting book with a priceless visual of information.

José Manuél Rico Cortés (Mister JM) - Miniaturas JM

The term 'red legs' referred to the stripes on the trousers of America's gunners. This book covers the Civil War, the wars against three Indians and culminate with the Spanish-American War in Cuba. It contains an eclectic mixture or photographs, graphic plates and original historical artefacts which illustrate the history of this branch of the US Army.

Classic Arms & Militaria, August-September

As the blurb rightly suggests some of these illustrations appear to be quite rare and give an interesting insight into how the uniforms and personal equipment of this branch of the U.S. Army developed.

...In short this is an interesting book that covers its subject matter well. Its appeal, like most of Pen & Sword’s titles, will be to a specialist audience, who like me have an interest in this period of history and/or military uniforms of the time.
